A member asked:

When can i eat like normal after a wisdom teeth extraction?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Wisdom tooth: Depends on how difficult they were to extract. You could start drinking cold liquids first day, purée diet second and third and then soft food for three to four days. Normal food on the 8-10th day.

Eating Normally: Eating normally is a statement that is different for every individual. If you mean eating solid hard foods, it may be 1 to 2 weeks after the extractions depending on the degree of difficulty in removing the teeth. Ask the dentist doing the extractions what to expect as far as diet considerations go.

It depends: Usually you are back to close to normal by about the 72 hour mark. I had a nephew who wanted to go out to dinner the same day he had his out, and I have seen people who were sore for 10 to 14 days.
